Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain, arm pain should always be evaluated for heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Gastritis can cause bloating and left sided chest pain. Bloating can in turn cause difficulty in breathing.
So take combination of pantoprazole (antacid) and levosulperide (prokinetic) twice daily before food for 5 days.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
